My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?… Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?

God did not, does not, and will not despise the small beginning. It is essentially His method and manner of working.

In proportion as a church is holy, in that proportion will its testimony for Christ be powerful.
– Charles Spurgeon –
It costs to be faithful. It cost Abraham the yielding up of his only son. It cost Esther to risk her own life. It cost Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being put into a fiery furnace. It cost Stephen death by stoning. It cost Paul his life. Does it cost you anything to be faithful to your Lord and King?

God does not choose people because of their ability, but because of their availability.

If God has called you to China or any other place and you are sure in your own heart, let nothing deter you. Remember, it is God who has called you and it is the same as when He called Moses or Samuel.

The church does not determine what the Bible teaches. The Bible determines what the church must teach.
– Charles Spurgeon –
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.

Discipleship isn’t a program or an event; it’s a way of life. It’s not for a limited time, but for our whole life. Discipleship isn’t for beginners alone; it’s for all believers for every day of their life. Discipleship isn’t just one of the things the church does; it is what the church does.
